MARRIAGE LICENSES
OBTAINING YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE
Once the intentions have been filed and the bride and groom have signed the marriage license, the marriage license is immediately issued to the bride and groom. The license must be used within 90 days from the date the intentions were filed. The cost of obtaining a marriage license is $40.
HOW TO FILE INTENTIONS:
The first step in filing a marriage license is to have the marriage intentions recorded in writing. Both parties must sign the intentions, stating they are free to marry.
You must be 18 years of age to marry without parental consent. If you have been married before and are divorced or widowed, a certified copy of documentation showing how the last marriage ended is required.
You only need to file in the town that you live. If you live in separate towns, you only need to file one copy.
